just to let any further worriers know, i'm pretty sure the use of asbestos for ANYTHING is illegal now due to it's cancer causing hazards.
the email was from my mother lol. i trust her.

I wouldn't think that the tampon companies are going to risk major lawsuits and the loss of their company by endangering women.
There are natural tampons that don't use bleached cotton and claim to be better for you that you could look into. However be careful with "natural" things too. They often claim more then they actually do.
I think I'm the only person that never believed that asbestos rumor. lol.
You can also go here to dismiss a lot of rumors and myths.

Just a hint...
Don't believe take stuff you receive in a forwarded/forwarded/forwarded/forwarded e-mail as gospel. People make up crap and spread it all around.
I never forward stuff like that unless I visit a website called Snope.com. I have yet to find one legitimate claim via the e-mail game. I've checked every one on there and found out the truth. Here is the link to the tampon thing...
